I've got an idea for a potential event for you, I hope you like it, I've put a lot of thought into it!

*Qiqirn Espionage: The search for Clink-Clink!

The never ending search for "shiny clink-clink" has lead the Qiqirn all the way to the main land, and they have thier eyes set on the shiny treasures held within the coffers of each of the 3 nations!

There's only one problem... they can't infiltrate the security to reach it!

The Qiqirn don't know much about the main land cities, and that's where you come in!

The Qiqirn are looking for brave adventurers like you to infiltrate the ranks of the city guards and gather information for them. In exchange for the information you gather, you'll be rewarded with authentic Qiqirn gadgets!

Seek out the Qiqirn Scouts in each of the 3 nations located at ...

*Listing of Scout Locations and Event times*

*The Event: Each Qiqirn Scout will have 2 super secret missions for you to take!

1 - Espionage - Use secret Qiqirn disguise techniques to infiltrate the ranks of the city guards to learn the whereabouts of the treasure coffers!

Espionage would have the adventurer speak to a Qiqirn Scout to be granted a costume effect. This would transform the adventurer into a "guard" costume, this would change dependant on the nation.

They would follow the guards that roam the city and gain their trust by acting out a series of emotes when presented with random dialog from the NPC guards. If at any point you use the wrong emote, or fail to enter an emote, you will be caught and loose your costume effect. After a time has passed with entering successful emotes, you will gain the trust of the guard, and he will reveal secret information about the nations treasure location to the adventurer.

At least 5 bits of information are required for the minimum prize, and up to a maximum of 10. The more information you gather before returning to the Qiqirn Scout, the better your prize!

Rewards:10 bits of Information: Qiqirn Spy Glasses, RA/EX Black Sunglasses with 3 minute enchantment of "Flee". This would have unlimited charges to be used a maximum of once per hour. *This effect would be similar to quickening in that you would loose the effect when attacking a target, or by being attacked by a target.5-9 bits of Information: Qiqirn Cloak, a RA/EX cape item that transforms you into a Qiqirn. This would have unlimited charges to be used once every 24 hours.Repeat Rewards: Maybe 1 or 2 new food items and/or fireworks, Qiqirn seem to love sweet foods and flashy objects. A smokebomb firework would be fitting.

The second event "Reconnaissance" will open up as a selectable option after speaking to the Qiqirn Scout while having a "Qiqirn Spy Glasses" in your inventory.

2 - Reconnaissance - The 3 nations have infiltrated the Qiqirn ranks with spys of their own! Help the Qiqirn Scouts catch them before they discover their plans!

Reconnaissance would have the adventurer speak to a Qiqirn Scout to be granted a costume effect. This would transform the adventurer into a Qiqirn costume.

The costumed adventurer would seek out Qiqirn Spy NPCs that roam the city. When speaking with them, they could either be real Qiqirn which would cause the adventurer to loose their Costume effect, or a guard in disguise. Finding 10 guards without being caught, and returning to the Qiqirn Scout, will earn you a reward!

Rewards:10 Guards Found: Qiqirn Purfume Ring, a ring item with 99 charges. The ring is RA/EX and cannot be sold or traded. Grants the Effect of Sneak, Invisible, and Deodorize, with a recharge time of 1 minute.Repeat Rewards: Maybe 1 or 2 new food items and/or fireworks, Qiqirn seem to love sweet foods and flashy objects. A smokebomb firework would be fitting.

So there you have it, I think this event is both fun and rewarding, and would really get the adventurers out to participate!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you like it, and I have to say, it would be an honor to see this make it into the game!
